Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. As
Speaker 2: i'm recording, I'm texting back and forth with Mike Chisholm
Speaker 2: from The Letterman podcast. He apparently liked the al Michaels
Speaker 2: bit and it just got me thinking about how much
Speaker 2: I do like al Michaels. I defend him on Twitter
Speaker 2: every Thursday. People are like, he's so old. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: he's great. He knows how to call football. You're watching
Speaker 2: the game. You don't need somebody yelling and screaming. Do
Speaker 2: you watch Kevin Horland, who's great at basketball and I
Speaker 2: love him on NBA two K Do you watch Kevin
Speaker 2: Horland call football game and only does his yell and scream,
Speaker 2: whereas al Michaels is just in the zone. I know
Speaker 2: this isn't why you're here, and I'm bringing all the rules.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell about him Gafkins Bourbon set in a second.
Speaker 2: But al Michaels remember the oj Knight and Captain Jenks
Speaker 2: called in and pranked Peter Jennings. I can never think
Speaker 2: of that and not laugh. So if you're not familiar
Speaker 2: with the story, Peter Jennings is there, and he says, okay,
Speaker 2: we have we have a eyewitness on the scene across
Speaker 2: from oj Simpson's house. That's say, mister Robert Higgins, mister Higgins,
Speaker 2: what do you see now? Captain Jenks went into a
Speaker 2: character that I don't want to get canceled, so I'm
Speaker 2: not going to do here.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna ask everybody to be quiet for a moment.
Speaker 1: We have on the phone with us as well, Robert Higgins,
Speaker 1: who lives in the neighborhood and is on the ground
Speaker 1: and can see inside the van. Mister Higgins, Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: how are you?
Speaker 2: But I'm watching this at home thinking how does Peter Jennings,
Speaker 2: the ABC anchor, not know what is happening? Then and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you hear the voice of
Speaker 2: God here, Peter, this is al Michaels. Lest anyone think
Speaker 2: that is a real name. I forget exactly what he said.
Speaker 2: That was a completely farcical call. Now, as the years
Speaker 2: went on, al Michaels would go on Howard Stern, Billy
Speaker 2: West would do al Michaels saying, that's a completely forcical call.
Speaker 2: Al Michaels said, I've never used the word farcicle in
Speaker 2: my life, but I know what was going on there.
Speaker 1: The driveway of Oj Simpson's home in Redwood, clearly an
Speaker 1: effort being made to him come out of the vehicle
Speaker 1: in the doorway of the house. His friend Al Cowling Peter.
Speaker 3: By the way, just for the record, this is Al Michaels.
Speaker 3: So that was a totally farcical call. Lest anybody think
Speaker 3: that that was somebody who was truly across the street
Speaker 3: that was not. He said something in code at the
Speaker 3: end that's indicative of the mentioning of the name of
Speaker 3: a certain radio talk show.
Speaker 2: Host as a producer. I just imagine myself in the
Speaker 2: control room and the hotline ring. So the hot line
Speaker 2: is a phone that you only use when you really
Speaker 2: need to get through. Like you don't use the hotline
Speaker 2: to be like, hey, what should we get for lunch?
Speaker 2: The hot line is hey, there's a fake call on
Speaker 2: the air, get it off now. It's used for that
Speaker 2: kind of thing. It's the batphone. So I'm just picturing
Speaker 2: you're in the control room and Al Michael's calls and
Speaker 2: he's like, you gotta put me on the air right now,
Speaker 2: and you're like, what did you not just see the ojchase?
Speaker 2: Why does al Michaels have to be on the air
Speaker 2: right now? Anyway, I have totally degressed and broken all
Speaker 2: the rules and put a two and a half minute
Speaker 2: roadblock at the top of the show. You're not supposed
Speaker 2: to do. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Yeah, boy,
Speaker 2: Jim Gaffigan, it's today the Bourbon set. We've been looking
Speaker 2: forward to this four months, over four shows, Jim Gaffigan
Speaker 2: will debut an all new set of Bourbon and whiskey
Speaker 2: inspire stand up. You might still be able to get
Speaker 2: in because on Monday morning, Jim Gaffigan post it on
Speaker 2: Threads the tickets were still available. So I don't know
Speaker 2: if the bourbon demand is quite there for Jim gaffigan
Speaker 2: bourbon theme sets, but he's doing four of them to
Speaker 2: tonight two Thursday, seven and nine thirty. It's at the
Speaker 2: Kentucky Center baum Hart Theater, you know, the one on
Speaker 2: five oh one West Main Street. Yeah. Now, what he's
Speaker 2: really pushing is this really cool after party on Thursday.
Speaker 2: That's right. If you've got tickets to the nine to
Speaker 2: thirty show, not only do you get a Jim Gaffigan
Speaker 2: bourbon themed comedy set. You get exclusive access to the
Speaker 2: official after party. The party will feature sponsored bourbon pores,
Speaker 2: light bites, and of course, Jim Gaffigan. That after party
Speaker 2: doesn't starts eleven pm. So as much as I love
Speaker 2: Jim gaffigan bourbon jokes and bourbon, I mean you want
Speaker 2: me to start a party at eleven o'clock on a
Speaker 2: school night? Are you crazy?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: Uh, this next part here, I'm not doing a bit, okay,
Speaker 2: So let me get the little out of my voice.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to have a fun. It's just a
Speaker 2: fun little podcast. But let me get to us for
Speaker 2: a second. Over the weekend, John Marcos Saraisi posted a
Speaker 2: picture with Jim Gaffigan. Now, I would describe John Marcos
Speaker 2: Sarraisi as wiry. If you've seen his comedy special, you
Speaker 2: know he's not a big, fat, stocky guy like me.
Speaker 2: He's wiry. Anyway, He's in a picture with Jim Gaffigan,
Speaker 2: who has said he lost weight using joo. Jim's looking
Speaker 2: really thit not like, hey, you lost a lot of weight,
Speaker 2: You look good like he's past that. Now. I hope
Speaker 2: he's okay. I'm not doing a bit. I'm not trying
Speaker 2: to be a jerk hole. But when You're standing next
Speaker 2: to John Marco and I'm like you look really thin,
Speaker 2: I go, huh, so, I hope everything's okay. There stories
Speaker 2: I hadn't got to Nate Brigetzie. Remember the Emmys and
Speaker 2: then Jimmy Kimmel got suspended and then we all went
Speaker 2: to the Riod Comedy Festival wholl All. Before that, the
Speaker 2: story was Naperghetzy tanked on the Emmys. Remember that bit.
Speaker 2: Nate on his podcast said he wasn't trying to put
Speaker 2: anybody on the spot. I was trying to have a
Speaker 2: very giving night. He said he had no ill intent
Speaker 2: while planning it out. Well, then, dude, you didn't think
Speaker 2: about this at all, Nate said. Reviews did not like
Speaker 2: the boys and Girls Club thing, despite it coming from
Speaker 2: a real place of heart. In my head, I wasn't
Speaker 2: trying to put anybody in spot. I wasn't trying to
Speaker 2: make someone donate money. But in my head I kind
Speaker 2: of thought, like, make it fun. We're not using the
Speaker 2: charities a tool. They asked you to come up with
Speaker 2: a way to make everybody go shorter on their speeches.
Speaker 2: First of all, why are we trying to go shorter
Speaker 2: on their speeches? Like what are we trying to get
Speaker 2: to at this point the Sunday night eleven o'clock news.
Speaker 2: Who cares? We all have phones? Like what is the race?
Speaker 2: Or start the show earlier if you're worried about it
Speaker 2: going too late, Nate said, comics, I don't think I'll
Speaker 2: get to ask that going shorter, because I'll try to
Speaker 2: find a solution. He said, CBS was very happy with
Speaker 2: the bit. I think people at home were very happy
Speaker 2: they watched it. No, we weren't. I wasn't trying to
Speaker 2: overshadow any of their speeches, but yeah, you know some
Speaker 2: of these people, well, you work your whole career, you
Speaker 2: finally get recognized. You just want to thank your family
Speaker 2: and the people you worked with hard, and like, why
Speaker 2: are we running a clock? I get we don't want
Speaker 2: the seven minutes speeches about issues of the day. I
Speaker 2: get that. But if you're up there and you're like, hey,
Speaker 2: I just want to think my wife's just been really
Speaker 2: great these last thirty years, and my kids are fantastic,
Speaker 2: and you know the rest of the crew here, let
Speaker 2: people do that. Nate explained on his podcast, he thought
Speaker 2: that the shows that won, or Netflix or Apple would
Speaker 2: donate the money. It's not like I was expecting that kid,
Speaker 2: meaning adolescent star Owen Cooper, who was fantastic in his speech.
Speaker 2: I think he's fifteen. I mean that show was great.
Speaker 2: He's great, but his speech was fantastic. I wasn't expecting
Speaker 2: that kid to give money. In my head, I pictured
Speaker 2: as they could speak long but then be a hero,
Speaker 2: so it was a win win. Then the night becomes
Speaker 2: about love and you're giving to these kids that are
Speaker 2: there and all the stuff. I don't know if I
Speaker 2: just didn't explain enough in the room. I had it
Speaker 2: in my head one way, it came out another way.
Speaker 2: But the reasoning was there. I wasn't gonna give that
Speaker 2: money at the end. I wasn't thinking I was going
Speaker 2: to have it, But the way it went, it was like,
Speaker 2: I can't. I wonder if they'll have him back. So
Speaker 2: friend of the show Jason Zinniman pointed out the ratings
Speaker 2: were up, but I don't know. I feel like that's
Speaker 2: a jokoy one and done. I can't see rolling him
Speaker 2: back out. David Letterman, Yes, I'm finally getting to a
Speaker 2: David Letterman story. Because all the crazy news has calmed down,
Speaker 2: he has announced his next guest on My Next Guest
Speaker 2: needs no introduction. He's already taped it at New York University.
Speaker 2: It is with the great, great dramatic actor Adam Sandler, hopefully.
Speaker 2: Letterman asked him a lot of questions about Adam's fine
Speaker 2: dramatic films, Uncut, Gems, Space movie one about basketball, and
Speaker 2: this upcoming Ja Kelly won that apparently Adam Sandler dramatic
Speaker 2: actor is fantastica and I'm looking forward to hearing Dave
Speaker 2: interview Adam Sandler about dramatic acting. No date yet for that.
Speaker 2: It's scheduled to air later this year. Let me guess
Speaker 2: Jay Kelly comes out December fifth, maybe around then. There
Speaker 2: is a lot of Oscar buzz around dramatic actor Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2: Sandler told people that's real cool. Nice of everybody to say.
Speaker 2: I'm just happy I got to be in it. Sandler's
Speaker 2: seems like a pretty cool guy. I mean, he addresses
Speaker 2: worse than I do, and his attempts at comedy are terrible,
Speaker 2: but he does seem like a really cool guy. Jimmie
Speaker 2: Fallon had Taylor Swift on last night, we'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: I did talk about Taylor Swift's new album on the
Speaker 2: DCN eight bonus podcast on the feed on Apple Podcasts.
Speaker 2: So I haven't done a DCN eight in a few
Speaker 2: weeks because of all the regular bonus episodes. But anyway,
Speaker 2: if you were a paid subscriber, and you can become
Speaker 2: a paid subscriber by opening up the Apple podcast app
Speaker 2: and clicking Uninterrupted Listening, and then for five bucks a month,
Speaker 2: you'll get this show and then just about everything else
Speaker 2: on the network commercial free. So you get five good
Speaker 2: news stories which I host, you get that commercial free.
Speaker 2: In Palace Intrigue and all the other stuff, the trivia show,
Speaker 2: you get all that without ads. But also to show
Speaker 2: my appreciation and to get some things out of my system,
Speaker 2: I started this thing called DCN eight where it's me,
Speaker 2: but I'm not talking about comedy, and I'm not putting
Speaker 2: any rules on that. I'm not saying how long it is,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying how often it comes out. Just if
Speaker 2: you're pay subscriber, every now and then you get a
Speaker 2: DC and eight, And there's a DC and eight in
Speaker 2: the feed right now. Fallon was catching some crap last
Speaker 2: week because he said he's keeping his head down during
Speaker 2: all this political stuff. Fallon told CNBC, our show's never
Speaker 2: really been that political. We hit both size equally. We
Speaker 2: try to make everybody laugh. Our monologue has been the
Speaker 2: same in doing since Johnny Carson was doing this night show.
Speaker 2: So I really just keep my head down to make
Speaker 2: sure the jokes aren't funny. We're trying to make the
Speaker 2: best show we possibly can and entertain everybody. Fallon also
Speaker 2: has that new show On Brand with Jimmy Fallon, a
Speaker 2: reality competition series that puts ten creative minds of the
Speaker 2: test as they craft real campaigns for real brands. Jimmy
Speaker 2: Fallon said, we wanted everybody to get in on the action,
Speaker 2: so NBC's doing cool thing. They're going to hold a
Speaker 2: contest where you get to create an original design for
Speaker 2: an on brand billboard. We've teamed up with Canva to
Speaker 2: do this, so anyone can enter. The winner will get
Speaker 2: their billboard on Sunset Boulevard in LA and win a
Speaker 2: trip to New York City and two tickets to see
Speaker 2: the Tonight Show. What if I win, I live in
Speaker 2: New Jersey, I get a trip to New York City.
Speaker 2: I try to avoid going to New York City, just
Speaker 2: like I've tried to avoid talking about the Riodd Comedy
Speaker 2: Festival for ten minutes or so, but times up. Bill
Speaker 2: Maher criticized Dave Chappelle for Dave Chappelle's comments downplaying free
Speaker 2: speech in America. This happened on Real Time with Bill Maher.
Speaker 2: That was the episode Louis c K was on. Bill
Speaker 2: Moore told c K Dave Chappelle was in the press
Speaker 2: today saying you can speak more freely over here than
Speaker 2: in America. C K said, I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 2: Mar said, oh, it's not true. At the Read Comedy
Speaker 2: Festival today, Jack Whitehall brings Polish, British banterer and gleeful
Speaker 2: self mockery, sharpening stories with a quick snap. He's honed
Speaker 2: on arena tours. Moa Maher is there. He'll discuss fatherhood, fame,
Speaker 2: and identity with the same candid, culturally charged storytelling that
Speaker 2: made him a household name. Expect brutally honest observations, unexpected tenderness,
Speaker 2: and explosive punchlines delivered with charisma and bite. Interesting copy.
Speaker 2: There and Wayne Brady, he brings quick fire improv and
Speaker 2: music Comedy to the Rio Comedy Festival, challenging the fearless
Speaker 2: energy that made him a multi hyphenate star. On whose
Speaker 2: line is it anyway? Broadway and TV expect genre hopping
Speaker 2: riffs and the kind of on the spots songcraft that
Speaker 2: turn suggestions into showstoppers. Be careful, Wayne. So as I
Speaker 2: put the show together today, I actually excluded a few things.
Speaker 2: There's one comedian on Instagram showing off their weight loss,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know what, I just don't want
Speaker 2: to talk about that. And it's just comedy thinking. Everything's
Speaker 2: just been so angsty ltely and it's starting to make
Speaker 2: me like, not like some of these people that we
Speaker 2: talk about all the time. I feel like comedy has
Speaker 2: become a business with a capital B, and it's all
Speaker 2: feeling icky. And I don't just mean re odd. I
Speaker 2: feel like you can just see the industry, meaning Hollywood
Speaker 2: and the two big agencies going, here's who we're pushing now,
Speaker 2: here's who the hot comedian is right now, and let's
Speaker 2: get as much press out there, and let's get them
Speaker 2: big TV gigs and let's put them in front of everybody.
Speaker 2: We're going to make this person a star and there
Speaker 2: are at least two people have done that with this year,
Speaker 2: and it's all just feeling like icky to me right now.
Speaker 2: I'd prefer to talk about fun things like this whole
Speaker 2: thing with Paddington Bear. Studio Canal which produces the Paddington movies,
Speaker 2: and Paddington Bear's holders are suing Avalon. They didn't like
Speaker 2: the recent episode of Spitting Image. That episode depicted Paddington
Speaker 2: as a foul mouthed podcast host. In the sketch, Paddington said,
Speaker 2: I don't really talk like Ben Wishlaw. I'm from Peru.
Speaker 2: M Effers, I am Paddington Bear from Peru. During a
Speaker 2: sketch Prince Harry and Paddington interview Elon Musk, they also
Speaker 2: read ads for guns and robot sex dolls. Scrubs revival
Speaker 2: looks like everybody's back. Over the weekend, I started watching
Speaker 2: Scrubs again from season one, episode one. Boy, that show
Speaker 2: has aged well. I was laughing out loud. It's on Hulu.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, no, I mean I was watching my dvdsuse
Speaker 2: so if I watched Hulu that would mean I support fascism. Now,
Speaker 2: I of course canceled Disney Plus and Hulu and don't
Speaker 2: watch anything on ABC because I support Jimmy Kimmel and
Speaker 2: free speech, just like you canceled all that stuff too.
Speaker 2: So I misspoke there. I was not watching it on Hulu.
Speaker 2: I would not do that. I do not support fascism.
Speaker 2: I went upstairs and got my DVDs, which are real
Speaker 2: things I own. I'll post a picture of me with
Speaker 2: a DVD to prove it, and I am going to
Speaker 2: do that on the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast
Speaker 2: Group after I shower. See this is why I hate
Speaker 2: the video podcast. You know, it's midday on Monday, and
Speaker 2: I might still be wearing a hat and last night's clothes.
Speaker 2: That's the beauty of being an audio podcaster. But once
Speaker 2: I like shower and shave, you'll see me with my
Speaker 2: scrubs DVDs. I wasn't watching Hulu. I don't support fascism.
Speaker 2: ABC has added nine guest starring cast members. The new
Speaker 2: interns include Ava Bonnis Serena, Jacob Dudman as Asher, David
Speaker 2: Gridley is Blake, Leila Mouhammadi as Amara, and Amanda Morrow
Speaker 2: as Dashana. They joined Zach Raft, Donald Faison and Sarah
Speaker 2: Chalk as the three leads Judy Reis is back as Carla,
Speaker 2: John C. McGinley as Doctor Cox. I can't get enough
Speaker 2: of Doctor Cox ever, I would watch a Doctor Cox
Speaker 2: spin off. All right, here's the description. J D and
Speaker 2: Turk scrub in together for the first time in a
Speaker 2: long time. Medicine has changed, in turns have changed, but
Speaker 2: their romance has stood the test of time. Characters new
Speaker 2: and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter
Speaker 2: heart and some surprises along the way. I'm still curious
Speaker 2: if you watch season nine and I have the DVDs,
Speaker 2: I don't support fascism. The original Sacred Heart Hospital was gone.
Speaker 2: They were the new ones. So does the new scrubs
Speaker 2: take place at the new Sacred Heart, which at this
Speaker 2: point is like twenty years old. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: remember I saw somewhere over the weekend the Todd is
Speaker 2: back as well, which is good news. The only person
Speaker 2: I haven't seen is if Neil Flynn is coming back
Speaker 2: as the janitor new topic. For some reason, FX Wait,
Speaker 2: who owns fx FX is Hulu? Oh, we're gonna have
Speaker 2: to support fascism again. Boy, Well, if you do suppor fascism,
Speaker 2: FX is for some reason making very young Frankenstein This
Speaker 2: based on mel Brooks, Young Frankenstein, Zach Galifanakis, Dontlly Well,
Speaker 2: Spencer House, Nikki Crawford, come ol On Jeohnny and Carrie
Speaker 2: Elwis a star on the pilot. It's some sort of
Speaker 2: prequel I assume from the title why we're making this
Speaker 2: I don't know. And kicking off today the Milwaukee Comedy
Speaker 2: Festival celebrating twenty years presenting live comedy today through the
